SAFETY
Before attempting to operate this generator the
following basic safety precautions should be
taken to reduce the risk of re, electric shock
and personal injury. It is important to read the
instruction manual and to understand applications,
limitations and potential hazards associated with
this generator. It is important that you read,
understand and follow these instructions very
carefully. They are designed for the safety of
yourself and others ensuring a long and trouble
free service life from your generator. This
generator is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
ALWAYS use your generator in an open well
ventilated area. Do not expose your generator
to rain or use in damp or wet locations. Do
not expose your generator to direct sunlight.
Keep the work area well lit. Do not use your
generator in areas where there is a risk of
explosion or re from combustible materials,
ammable liquids, paint, varnish, petrol, etc
ammable gases and dust of an explosive
nature. As a precaution it is recommended that
you consult an expert on selecting and using a
suitable re extinguisher and have it available
for use in an emergency when operating the
generator.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK
Never touch the generator with wet or damp
hands as electric shock may occur. Always ensure
your generator is connected to ground, i.e.
Earthed with the supplied earth stake,
see page 13.
BEWARE OF CHILDREN & PETS
Children and pets should be kept out of the
operating area. Children should not be allowed
to touch or operate generators or touch extension
cords. All generators should be kept out of
reach of children. When NOT in use keep the
generator preferably stored or locked in a secure
well ventilated cabinet or room with the fuel tank
empty.
SELECT A GENERATOR WITH A
SUFFICIENT RATING
Select the right generator for the job. Do not
use a generator to do a job for which it was not
designed. Do not force a small generator to do
the job of a heavy duty generator. Any damage
caused by overloading will void the warranty. Do
not use generators for purposes not intended.
PROTECT POWER LEADS
FROM DAMAGE
Always disconnect power cords from a power
supply socket by pulling the plug. Never pull
on the cord. Keep the power lead away from
heat, oil, solvents and sharp edges. If a power
lead becomes damaged have it replaced by an
authorised service facility.
FUEL
Fuel used in this generator is poisonous. Always
wear approved breathing protection when
decanting fuel. If you get any fuel on your skin
or clothes wash the affected area immediately
with soap and water and change your clothes. If
you get fuel in your eyes wash immediately with
clean water and seek medical attention. If any
fuel is swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting, seek
immediate medical attention.
HOT COMPONENTS
Beware many of the components will get hot
during use. Never touch any of the metal pipes,
pump or motor as these may burn.

MAINTAIN YOUR GENERATOR
WITH CARE
When not using your generator ensure the fuel
cock is ‘OFF’. Never leave the fuel cock ‘ON’
as this can damage the carburettor. Follow
the instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Keep handles clean, dry and free
from oil and grease. Ensure that ventilation slots
are kept clean and free from dust at all times.
Blocked ventilation slots can cause overheating
and damage to the motor. Ensure that the air and
fuel lters are kept clean at all times.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS
AND WRENCHES
Form the habit of always checking to see that any
adjusting keys or wrenches have been removed
from the generator before operating.
FIRE PRECAUTIONS
Always contact your re authority before using
the generator on re restricted days. It is not
recommended to use your generator when a total
re ban is in force. Never refuel your generator
while it is still running. Never connect your
generator to a commercial or domestic power
outlet. As a precaution it is recommended that
an expert is consulted on obtaining and using a
suitable re extinguisher.
CLEANING YOUR GENERATOR
Always stop your generator before you commence
cleaning. Always ensure that your generator has
cooled, about one (1) hour, before cleaning and
storing. When cleaning your generator use only a
damp soft cloth. NEVER use liquid or solvents of
any type.
EXTENSION CORDS & REELS
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace
if damaged. Never use damaged extension cord
as these may cause injury. Always unwind any
extension cords fully before plugging into mains
power supply. Protect your extension cord or
reel from sharp objects, excessive heat, damp
conditions or wet locations. Always use a ‘3’ core
extension cord or reel with this generator. Only
extension cords intended for and marked ‘outdoor’
use, which are no longer than 10m.
GENERATOR ‘EARTHING’
Always ensure that this generator is “Earthed”
correctly before using. “Earthing” stake and wire
has been supplied with this generator ensure it is
used to ensure your safety, see page 13.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS
Before using the generator it should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function.
Check for broken or missing parts and have them
replaced or repaired at an authorised service
facility. Check any other condition that may affect
the operation of the generator. A guard or any
other part of the generator that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised
service facility unless otherwise indicated in this
instruction manual.
Any switch that does not operate correctly must
be replaced by an authorised service facility.
